business arrangements with connecting

plalnants, by their refusal to refrain from
paying commissions on tickets issued by the
defendants, voluntarily excluded themselves
from the reasonable, proper and equal facili-

other connecting lines. The complaints are
dismissed, all concurring except Commits

that this question is presented both as a
question of law and of railroad ethics or
morals. would not willingly delay yreform

its present effort, for it only exacts
from companies with connecting lines that
they shall discontinue the offer of a COM

the agents of all other companies. The pay
ment of commissions may be subject to such
abuse as to demand discontinuance, but

made to excuse common carriers from the

large block of stock Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company in

Of several other holders but have not exercised
these options nor do | intend now to do so
The statement in some of the papers that pur
chased large blocks of Baltimore and Ohio
stock is a mistake. As have stated | had OD-
tons, but circumstances rendered il unnecesSsl-
ny to close them. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company and its properties, including it's
large telegraph SYSTEM ana the ownership OF its
stock remain now as they were at the opening
of the negotiations The widespread public in
terest which these negotiations have
excited, and the many false and
foolish rumOrs 10 which they have given
rise, justify me IN departing from my usual
course and making this formal statement Of
their final termination. Thanking you for the
kindly terms in which you have been pleased 10
refer TO the Baltimore and Ohio Company and
its future, and acknowledging the correctness Of
your judgment, and that Of many other friends,
as 10 the propriety of making public this letter

Secretary Maynard Hears Each Side
of the Tobacco Interest.
WASHINGTON, July 20-Assistant Secre
tary Maynard to-day gave a hearing to the
representatives of the importers of Sumatra
tobacco and of the growers of domestic leaf
tobacco in regard to the general question of
the proper method of determining the dueia-
BILE value of Sumatra tobacco Mr.. Schroe-
der, of New York, representing the i'm
porters, asked that the present regulations
of the department requiring a close
inspection of all bales be modified so that
ell packages which do not contain S5 per
cent of wrappers be admitted at the rate of
SOC. per pound.
Mr.. Lachenbach, of New York, repre-
senting the Leaf Tobacco Board of Trade,
urged that the department insist on its
former ruling, that Sumatra tobacco wrap
pers, no matter how packed, shall be assOrt-
ed and made to pay duty at the rate Of 75c.
per pound.
w. A. Hensel, of Lancaster, Pa, repre-
senting the domestic growers, contended
that Congress intended to impose a tax of
75c per pound'on all Sumatra wrappers, and
that Sumatra tobacco is never imported for
other use than wrappers, except to evade
the law.
Arguments were made by other represen-
tatives of both interests The importers
asked that the department instruct the ap-
praiser to make their appraisementS in such
q manner that the package instead of the
leaf shall practically be the unit of appraise-
ments ;,that if a package contains less than
So per cent. of wrappers the whole bulk
shall pay lower rate of duty. The hearing
lasted several hours. Assistant Secretary
Maynard took the question under advise
ment, and promised to give it careful and
thorough consideration.
